So at Joiners in Southampton last night some twit threw a glass or bottle or something at Todd, cutting his lip. This wasn't cool, and he stormed off for a bit (cue drum solo from William) then came back on, bitched a bit, then they played.

Anyway, let's talk about bands having stuff thrown at them. Got any stories?

"last night someone in the crowd through a bottle at the stage during cubscout's set and it hit todd in the face, cutting his cheek and the inside of his mouth aswell as leaving him with a lip as fat as a plum. this morning he struggled to speak let alone sing and so the show has been pulled."

Well not complicated as such, but Todd threw a glass out into the crowd, not maliciously, but presumably someone didn't take kindly to it. And he screwed himself over a bit when he tried to explain it when he came back on, "I was just trying to get it out of the way of the stage, you didn't need to throw something back."

Um, what? There wasn't enough room on the stage for a glass? Anyway, he probably shouldn't have thrown it in the crowd, but equally someone shouldn't have thrown something back at him with the intention of causing PAIN.

Some cunts deciding because they don't like someone no-one else should enjoy it either.

The 50 Cent bottling was totally pathetic for example. It was a festival with several stages and a list of stage times which is pretty easy to acquire. There was no reason why anyone should be in front of the stage watching 50 Cent unless they wanted to see him (or unless they wanted to be at the front for the next act but then that's entirely their decision and not an excuse for bottling someone you already knew was gonna be on).

50 Cent, by all counts, performed pretty much exactly as one would expect 50 Cent to perform, so no-one could even claim it was a bad show by him. It was just basically a bunch of selfish twats deciding they didnt want to see 50 Cent so no-one else should either.

This isn't to say 50 Cent is not a twat and I sure as hell wouldn't want to see him live but that doesn't change how moronic, selfish and pathetic the people bottling him were.

Ultimately, if there ever is a justification for throwing bottles at someone (I don't think there is) it would be that the act was woefully under-performing. If there's a gig where the act just isn't your thing you should either

a) Leave and let the other people who want to see the act enjoy it

or

b) If you don't want to leave then shut the fuck up, accept it's your own decision to put yourself through watching this act you don't want to see and let the other people who want to see the act enjoy it.

"two glasses were at the tip of the stage which i atempted to wear as glasses (eyes) which i then tossed in to the air which was obviously the crowd.
(i was told after the show had finished that i hit some young ladies"

followed by someone asking, "oh todd, why did you throw glass? :(", he gave the reply, "im a badass".

I've no idea who this band is, but I can safely say that their singer is a prize cock.

In the middle of a song someone threw a shoe?? And it hit Jack White
Square in the chest. It was so bad you herd the thud right thru the PA.
He just stopped then started playing again like it was normal

That was an odd gig a 2 piece band plying the Secc and I remember these Neds Doing a “Neddy” dance to seven nation army it made me cringe thinking twats
Like these buy this music.

i've thrown a bogroll at Johnny Borrell at the charlotte years ago..i was at nottingham when Win Butler got a shoe/bottle/cup in the face - i'm still not sure what it was, i was at nottingham years ago when someone threw water over the mixing desk during Australia by the Manics - although that was probably justified
